Hey guys! So I am 17 weeks today!! Everyone keeps asking me if I feel baby yet and I have no idea. A few nights ago I was laying down and felt this feeling like something rolled over in my stomach. I hadn’t just ate nor was I hungry so I know it wasn’t hunger pains or gas. But tonight I’m laying here and keep feeling this twitch feeling on my right side. Once my belly got really tight after then another twitch. The twitch feeling happened a few times. Curious to know what everyone’s “flutters” are feeling like. I’m hoping this feeling is baby! If so, it’s super exciting!

I’m 16w3days and I’m starting to feel what I think are flutters! Twitches is a good way to describe it! It kind of feels like bubbles popping in my belly - it was on the right towards the bottom of my tummy. My obstetrician told me it’d probably feel like gas to begin with (haha) so I’m pretty sure that it’s definitely bubba I’m feeling! Such an amazing feeling!

Honestly to me it feels like when you all of the sudden remember something embarrassing from like, grade 5 and you get that pit in your stomach feeling. I’ve been able to feel mine since week 12ish, I’m 15wk 5 days now. At first it felt like isolated cramps more like he was stretching to one side of me. But now every morning it’s like he’s doing gymnastics. Definitely a morning person!

First time I felt baby was like a little tickle around 14 weeks. Second was a big tuck and roll around 16 weeks. Now at 27 weeks her kicks feel like a popping movement and when she’s rolling around I can feel her back side on my stomach. It’s crazy cool!

Also, if I have sugar she goes mouth but I mostly feel her when I’m laying down or changing positions.

That sounds to me like it's your baby! I always described mine as it felt like water ripples. Like if you were dragging your finger through water. As I progressed, it felt more like a gold fish swimming in there. Now at 37 weeks, it feels like there's multiple bowling balls rolling around lol.

Yep! That’s most def your baby :) a feeling you will never forget! I’m on my 2nd pregnancy and only 10 weeks but I def feel “flutters”....mine feel like butterfly wings are brushing against me from the inside! Popcorn popping is a good analogy too :) yay!!!!! Such an exciting moment for you!

Lol that's funny because mine is always at night! I guess I always assumed it was just gas too (this pregnancy has me SUUUPER gassy lol) so hard to distinguish, but I'm with you--I've been feeling that around the same time every night since about week 12ish.

My first feeling of the baby felt like a little twitch in my bladder but I didn’t understand it at first. Now my baby is very active but I don’t feel it right on my belly yet, only my bladder! Such an amazing feeling!

I'm 19weeks most nights my little mango is active. seldom during the day. feels like air bubble pooping an random twitches. once i've come to realize what it actually was (not gas) I get excited knowing my little mango is active and about. p.s little mango because I haven't gone for gender yet. going this Friday. super excited! but yes it is truly amazing feeling

It’s so difficult to describe lol! It’s like little puffs of pressure popping around. Coolest feeling ever. I wasn’t sure at first but after a few more times I was able to tell it’s definitely the baby!
